Me and my wife moved from las vegas three years ago. We decided to try this place for lunch. The owners are very friendly and the restaurant is small yet cozy. The food is seriously the best we have had since moving here. We had almost given up on trying new restaurants in the area because the food is sub par but this place was fantastic. A must if you are in the area!!!

Great friendly service and curries were outstanding. Egg rolls were cold in middle - get something else. We would def come back!!'n

5 stars for food. 3 for ambience. 5 for service and friendliness. Diverse menu, something for everyone. Every first timer is so pleasantly surprised. Especially if you're looking for a Chinese food replacement.

Great food! Yes, the place needs a facelift, but the food is phenomenal! House made olive tamponade had great quality olive oil in it. I had the eggplant and grouper curry - flavorful, spicy, cooked to perfection. Ignore the facade on the outside, go in, eat, and be amazed.
(5)Mark S.
Small, family-run restaurant. Food good and prices reasonable. Good prices for beer, and some exotic brands. The place is very small - about eight tables From the outside, it looks plain, but inside it is comforatable and friendly.
(4)Bill G.
Small, family run cafe. Second generation Venice chef and wife. Best Seafood in Venice or anywhere else. Meatloaf is the best in the world. I never miss this place when I am in town.

Friends recommended and took us to this hole in the wall place. It is small (may seat 25 or so), so a reservation would be recommended. While you may be apprehensive upon seeing and entering the space, specially those who are food snobs, most folks will feel right at home when a basket of warm bread served with tapanade to spread upon it is served gratis once seated. The place is run by a couple, she is Indonesian and he is American and the menu reflect this. It is eclectic, with American comfort food items, some Italian offerings and a column of Indonesian dishes. Seafood is amply represented. All dishes tasted were very good. And the service was pleasant, prompt and personable. We specially enjoyed: Apps: egg rolls, fried calamari and the mussels. Each came with a unique and very nice dipping sauce. mains: Shrimp done in an Indonesian style, mixed grill (ribs, hanger steak, cornish game hen), grilled triple tale, and, veal saltimbocca.over angel hair. BTW did I mention that the prices are outrageously low? More so given the for the quality and quantity of the food. We expect to return to taste other dishes as i believe this place is a keeper.

My favorite place in Venice!! Always great food and a great menu with a wide variety all done in an excellent way. Friendly and reliable.

I came here with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter for lunch. The exterior of the building is NOT representative of the food! My husband got red curry tempeh and he LOVED his dish. It was sort of spicy and creamy red curry with rice and a tasty cucumber salad. My daughter got a smoke turkey sandwich which was also great with avocado, bacon, lettuce, and had potato salad on the side. I had a roasted vegetable sandwich which was delicious! The chef/owner was so friendly and came out and talked with us for some time. OK, so the interior and exterior could definitely use a face lift, but again, the food is A++++. We will go back soon! Oh, and the prices are reasonable.
(4)Rebecca O.
Great little cafe with a great variety on the menu. We went because we were told they served great burgers. That was true...fresh tasting burger. Was surprised to find curries on the menu. I had red curry...delicious. My husband tried the gasparilla stew....wonderful. It is a small place so call for reservations if more then 4 in your party. Also had a great mussels appetizer...excellent fresh mussels.
(5)Glen B.
This place is consistently good. Even above good. The Chef is right there available for discussion before, during and after the meal. He can give you very interesting facts about what the recipe is and maybe even how he created it. We went a few weeks aback and had a special osso bucco ravioli- It was off the charts. Others there had the same. Their comments "better than Italy" !! We had to agree. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

It seems that the food at Curry Creek Cafe is very good. Unfortunately I'll never know. The family stopped by Wed night but we didn't realize they closed at 8 and it was 7:55. The owner (wife) seemed put off that we would even consider entering her establishment despite the fact that we were unaware of their hours as we'd just rolled into town moments before. We politely told her that there was no need to do anything because we didn't expect to make them stay late but that we'd be back. True to our word we went back the next night. This is when things really went bad. The "curry" in the name didn't click. We were looking more for seafood and less for Indonesian. We tried to find something everybody wanted but it was clear that it wasn't going to happen. We had our 8-year-old with us so I asked for a kids' menu. The wife seemed uninterested in helping us but did finally tell us the mac & cheese from the sides menu was the kids' menu. Seriously? One flippin' dish for the kids? When I realized there was no way it would work I went to the owner/wife and told her that we couldn't find what we wanted to/or could eat (some dietary restrictions in the group) but could I get the sweet tea and lemonade we'd received to go and I'd pay for them. Rather than being an understanding proprietor she ignored me so we got up to leave. As we walked out the door she rudely told us that next time we should look at the menu outside (which we hadn't seen) before we come in. Rest assured there will never be a next time. This woman had to be one of the most rude people I've ever met (especially considering she's in the SERVICE industry. Maybe that explains why there were only two parties dining when we arrived. If you want an enjoyable dining experience rather than being made to feel as if you're putting the owners out (she didn't even seem happy to put two tables together for us) then do yourself a favor and head to Saltwater Cafe. The service is excellent and they're actually happy to have you walk into their restaurant.

Found this place after seeing sign on Tamiami Trail. Great lunch spot. Disappointed they did not have their award winning chicken chile on the menu yet. Chicken sate, jasmine rice, egg roll,s tasty, well presented and total lunch under $20 for two. Great taste, great value.
(4)Scott W.
Great food in a casual setting. My wife and I split an order of chicken Sate, very flavorful. Two skewers was plenty. She had the beef rending which was packed with flavor. It was a little too spicy for her so if you don't like much spice, order it mild. I had the grouper cheek curry which was delicious. Nice spicy yellow curry with large chunks of grouper. Nice dish. The owner / head cook came out and greeted us and asked us if we enjoyed the dinner. Overall good food for the price.
(4)Barbara W.
Just tried this place, based on YELP reviews. It was terrific. Very homey. The Nokomis native and his wife who is a native of Indonesia, do a wonderful job with both American and Indonesian dishes on the menu. No "fusion" food here... they just do the dishes from both countries well. Very reasonably priced and great specials on dinners for very early birds... (4-6 pm). The Indonesian grouper cheeks curry was very flavorful and not spicy, unless you wanted to add it. The bread is home made and some of the best that I have had in any restaurant. Large portions that we were able to bring home. The owners are friendly and include you in the conversation if yo wish. Easy to park here. Can't wait to return!
(5)Juliana J.
You wouldn't know it by the location but the food is very good. Every time I've gone I've tried to get something different and haven't been disappointed except for when I got a crab plate one time which wasn't the greatest. Otherwise the plates are good and pretty filling so I've never had dessert there but the nasi goreng, fried calamari, and the seafood curry with lemongrass shrimp are excellent. The food is reasonably priced and the chef is always friendly and eager to please his customers. It's a casual dining restaurant with a relaxed environment, clean, and quality food. The waitress could be a little more friendly and attentive but it's not so bad I wouldn't go back. Before you go you might want to make sure there is seating available because it's a small place so larger parties more than four I would recommend to call ahead.

I went there with my grandfather who is in a wheelchair and they had 1 table occupied and told us we couldn't get in because they were full. The lady was rude and did not even apologize for the inconvenience. If you are so busy during season, you should recommend reservations on your website...and not have empty tables when you turn a party of four away early in the evening. Especially when we live here year round and would frequently come in off season. Bad move for your business to be inconsiderate to people who can keep you afloat in the slow months.
(1)Jay U.
I've always (almost always) made it a point to try something different on the menu when I return to a restaurant. Can't help myself at Curry Creek Cafe. The Seafood Curry is SO FREAKIN DELICIOUS!! Been there three times in last five months and ordered same entree each time.
(5)Missy V.
Dinner was delicious. ..great service...chef was very personable. ..good wine selection. ..prices were very reasonable. ..will definitely be back...
(5)Stephanie F.
Very small-only 9 tables. Only 1 waitress working so service is slow, but the food is excellent! I've been here twice now and it's been the same both times. Worth the wait though.

Been meaning to stop in here for a while and finally went for lunch yesterday. As others have said, the ambiance isn't great but the owners are super friendly and the food is top notch. What an eclectic menu ... Indonesian, Pasta, burgers, sandwiches, american comfort food ... and we will be back to try more. We both chose Indonesian dishes. I had the beef rendang, an incredibly flavorful Sumatran stew ... think anise, lemongrass, kaffir lime. The meat was wonderfully tender and was served with jasmine rice and a cucumber salad side. Definitely a 5 star dish and it will be hard to top for my next visit. My husband had the spicy eggplant with chicken and it was true to its name. Wonderfully spicy, not overpowering, but if you don't like spice don't order this. Actually they custom make everything and can make any dish more or less spicy to your taste. We both ate every morsel on our plates and didn't want for more. The serving sizes were just right and so were the prices, about $12 each. Can't wait for our next visit!
(4)Bob B.
Small Asian-American fusion place right on 41S in Nokomis. Good food, service. Do not come for the ambiance... :) Family-owned. Great crab cakes!!!
(3)Jim S.
Our first time there and we had a wonderful meal. We selected 2 shrimp dishes from the Indonesian side of the menu, they were both excellent! We will go back again, soon! The service was adequate and we were able to interact with the chef/owner who was very colorful and helpful. It is a small place, but we were able to get a table for 4 at 7:30PM on a Thursday night.

I sit at this restaurant and laugh LAUGH LAUGH at the people across the street at Captain Eddy's. See, just over from that overpacked tourist joint ( who does buy Florida seafood and thank you ...) is Curry Creek. A bastion of arrogant curries, man meatloafs, stark raving mad pastas and salads that could make you put on your boogie shoes. Plus they aren't served in a basket and you get left overs. For days. The seafood stew is this passionate blend of spices silently and alternately catching your attention. I used to work in a fish house--this is good cuts of fish, shrimp and scallops. Often a stew gets the leftovers or about be not so fresh pieces of fish. This stew is first choice from the start and tastes like it. The man meatloaf is huge and will satisfy any person in your dining party who is scared of the curry. Scared? On no, you should be amazed. I haven't had curry this good since the 90s in SoHo where this hot Dutchmen took me to dine because in his well traveled experience it was the best. Curry Creek is right there. The salads shouldn't be ignored. The various menu changes should be celebrated. This isn't a cafe routed in old Florida...but a vibrant place where the old and new play...and dare I say it? Get mad happy naked and mix it up. Recommended and then some.

Our family had nice lunch in this little relaxed restaurant, although it's bigger inside than it looks from the outside. If you're not a snob, you'll probably like it.
(4)J C.
Best fried calamari I have ever had. Light, crisp and delicious. We also had the shrimp and eggplant and the grouper curry. My only complaint would be that the curry needed some vegetables. But the food was great and the service was friendly.
(4)Robert M.
Reviewed January 13, 2012 had eaten here last year(and reviewed in 2010) and it was very good so i figured it deserved a second chance. was not disappointed in quality of food or price. try the pasta mediterranean (14.95) or the chicken sate (12.95) which comes w/rice and a cucumber salad...and...ask Rolfie for some of her homemade red sambal. fresh fish available daily. service is excellent and friendly! sadly, no more bass ale, but newcastle is available as is a new addition, magic hat #9. my 4th (5th?) trip here .....still very good.
